maybe it's a hack but it will do for many cases: 

- add the text after the glyph as well, but hide it, 
- correct the horizontal space before and after the glyph
- make sure the horizontal self alignment of the rehearsal mark is center

it should be possible to write a small scheme function to avoid having to
type the same text twice or to calculate the length of the text in another
way.

  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #center % default
  \mark \markup {
    "to coda"
    \hspace #1
    \raise #1 \musicglyph #"scripts.coda"
    \hspace #-.5
    \with-color #white
    "to coda"
  }
